Mathematics

Answer:

Linda has £24 and Philip has £30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote a variable to the amount of money Linda and Philip have:

Money Linda has = L

Money Philip has = P

L + P = 54

There is a ratio of 4:5 so for every £4 Linda has, Philip will have £5. When adding both values, 4+5, you get 9.

Divide the total amount of money by the sum of the ratio numbers so 54/9 which gives 6.

Multiply the number you get from the division by their respective ratios.

Linda = 6 * 4 = 24

Philip = 6 * 5 = 30

Add both numbers if you want to make sure the answer is correct.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Part A: 7n + 30= -5 and 8n + 40= 16

Part B: 7(8) + 30= 86 and 8(8) + 40= 104

Part C: Company A saves you 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A: 7n + 30

Company B: 8n + 40

7n + 30= -5       8n + 40= 16

7(8) +30= 86     8(8) +40= 104

7(2) + 30= 44    8(2) + 40= 56

56 - 44= 12

the width of the morros in shannon's bathroom is 4/9 its length. The area of the mirror is 576 square inches. What are the dimen
fredd [130]
W=4L/9

A=LW, using W found above gives us

A=L(4L/9)

A=4L^2/9  and we were told that A=576 so

4L^2/9=576  multiply both sides by 9

4L^2=5184  divide both sides by 4

L^2=1296 take the square root of both sides

L=36, and we know that W=4L/9 so

W=4(36/9)=16

So the dimensions are: width=16in and length=36in
